I guess next time I happen to kick off that topic, I'll be more specific. I just figured that it was obvious, that when talking about Windows.UI, where that improved native code successor of WPF makes up almost all of it (arguably the most interesting part of all of WinRT, next to maybe the store as easy means of distribution), I'd be most likely referring to exactly that.

There's this huge treasure trove of an awesome, easy and extensible UI toolkit, which I still claim is locked away behind artificial restrictions, but because some minor ancillary functionality, that has probably the least importance in all this, is publicly available outside these restrictions, my argument is "trivially refuted". Whatever makes you happy. It's like claiming some house is open access, just because you can peek through the mail slot. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Yes he was wrong that "Windows.UI" includes other things besides the thing he was talking about. You have proven him wrong and wasted a bunch of your time doing so. Congrats!

So Defender just had a brief hiccup (a brief moment of being off) when i started up firefox - i don't visit any suspicious websites, but I am very on edge. is this just a hiccup with Windows Defenders, or do I have a problem here?

You could always check the Event Viewer for what happened (could be in the application log or the system log) but I'm guessing you just caught it while it was updating its actual scan engine, not just its database.

I've been loosely looking at that Windows 10 Pro upgrade option via the Windows Store, for Hyper-V and native remote desktop. While currently rather not, it seems like price is coming down very slowly. However I just read on some third parts sites that the Pro upgrade would be tied to the PC (well, rather what identifies it) and current installation, if I were to significantly upgrade my box (mainboard and CPU), I'd be screwed out of it and be back on home. That true?

That true? It would definitely become a "digital license" the same way licenses from the free upgrade from Windows 7/8 are. However those should become tied to your MS account, not just the hardware, so as long as you are signed in with an MS account you should have a good chance of getting a re-activation even after a major upgrade. (Check the "Activation" page under Update & security in the Settings app. It has your current license type and whether it's tied to an account.) Whether you will actually be able to re-activate after an upgrade with a digital license, yeah that's entirely a gamble.

That true? Uh Pro wont downgrade by itself ever. On the other hand, digital licenses are stuck with the hardware they are activated with. So you would probably need to toss a Windows 7 Pro license key at the new hardware and let Microsoft digitally entitle it. Or just buy another Win 10 Pro license.

Has anyone else suddenly had their audio just go to poo poo? Realtek HD Audio Driver, and stuff is just tinny and awful lately, whereas before everything was fine. It's driving me loving crazy because everything sounds absolutely horrid. e: usb headphones sounds a TON better so it's either the Realtek card or my headphones. Gonna troubleshoot but would love to know if anyone else has had this issue. Quidthulhu fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Just to be contrary, I still can't get my tablet to automatically reboot for updates. I left it sitting fully charged all of yesterday, nothing open, outside of the configured active hours, and when I picked it up in the evening it warned me about requiring a restart soon. (On the other hand, everyone complaining about restarts happening automatically while they're working must be ignoring those gigantic full screen warnings?!)

My PC is starting to reboot unexpectedly when I'm in video games. It's really random in terms of how often it happens (can be after minutes or after 100's of minutes). It's only in 3D games so I think it's related to the graphics card (a GTX 980) but it never had problem before and I haven't changed anything except for updating drivers. Is there an event log somewhere in Win10 I could use to investigate? Or enable some view or more detailed login? The default "event viewer" isn't very helpful in my case ; it only says there's been an unscheduled reboot but there's no entry before that would point me to the right direction.

Rexxed posted:Yeah, it's kind of a pain but it seems to work for now. This does not work. I did the whole process again, including with the file ownership / permissions, but windows still turned the reboot task on. (And the file was not modified, so there's some alternate thing windows is doing. Or maybe tasks can be changed in memory and the file is only to save settings across reboots. Anyways, it's useless.) If you have Pro, use GPedit to set updates to notify only. Furism posted:My PC is starting to reboot unexpectedly when I'm in video games.

First thing I would check is the power supply. A straight GPU problem would usually be throwing blue screens and event log errors, but if the power supply is dying under load it would cause a brownout and the system would reset as described.

Would that also be true for the system occasionally hard locking, with no indication of any issue in Event Viewer? It's usually while playing a game, but not always. If so, is there any way to tell or would I just need to buy a new PSU and see how it fares?

I doubt it's a PSU problem in that case, I think a hard lock usually implies some sort of code execution problem. CPU damage or hardware incompatibility, perhaps? I'd take it to the Haus for more in-depth analysis.

These were the exact symptoms when my power supply died. Most modern motherboards have a bios setting to turn off / restart in response to fluctuating power in order to protect the other components of your computer. If your PSU is starting to fail, it may no longer be able to provide steady paper under load. This is my guess for what's happening, but it's not the only possible cause.

It's driving me loving crazy because everything sounds absolutely horrid. This poo poo right here is making me want to go back to Windows 7. The audio sounds absolutely terrible and crackly. The only way I've found to temporarily alleviate the issue is to check then uncheck "disable all sound effects" in the sound control panel under speakers. It also goes away if you click the advanced tab then change the sample rate from 24bit 48000hz to anything else, then back to what it was.Still having issues even after updating to a driver from 11/30/16. I browse this thread from time to time as people seem to have similar issues, but I haven't seen any concrete fixes yet.I never encountered this issue on 7 or 8 and I've updated everything I can think of.

On Dec. 13 I successfully updated Windows 10 to KB3206632. However, due to viral infection, I had to perform a clean re-install on it yesterday. After the installation and updates are finished, the update history says the latest installed is KB3199986. Check For Updates does not give me any results. I attempted to install KB3206632 by itself from the catalog. However installation stops with a message saying that version is already installed. Any ideas? I'm perfectly happy to sit on this older update until the next one. My computer isn't imploding from this, so that's why I didn't post this over at Haus.

If you're getting BSODs first, http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html is handy. But if it's just rebooting then like everyone else has said it's almost certainly hardware failure somewhere along the chain, and Windows won't get any warning to record information before it's killed. (I'd be tempted to check your GPU/CPU temperatures, by the way.)
